CoQ -10 Active

Ubiquinol, the bioactive form of CoQ10, supports antioxidant activity by neutralizing free radicals and  toxic superoxides. It supports cytoprotection by minimizing membrane lipid peroxidation as well. The  patented, lipid-stabilized form of ubiquinol in CoQ-10 Active is present for enhanced bioavailability.  Ubiquinol, representing over 90% of total body CoQ10, is efficiently converted to the energy-generating  ubiquinone form as the body needs it.* CoQ10 and the CoQ10 cycle play fundamental roles in the antioxidant and energy systems of the body. The ubiquinone form of CoQ10 is produced in the mitochondria, where it directly participates in energy production by accepting electrons in the electron transport chain. Through the action of an oxidoreductase enzyme, ubiquinone is rapidly converted to ubiquinol, the lipid-soluble form that supports antioxidant activity throughout the body. Conversion of ubiquinone to ubiquinol declines with age, particularly after age 40. Supplementation
